A unique peptide-based pharmacophore identifies an inhibitory compound against the A-subunit of Shiga toxin
Abstract Shiga toxin (Stx), a major virulence factor of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), can cause fatal systemic complications. Recently, we identified a potent inhibitory peptide that binds to the catalytic A-subunit of Stx. Here, using biochemical structural analysis and X-ray crystallo...
